Strength Bonuses with Flaming Oil & Torches

[ptolemy18]

Hello everybody,

I have a quick question... if someone is fighting with a torch, do they add their STR bonus to the damage as if they were fighting with a normal melee weapon?

If someone throws a torch do they add their STR bonus then too?

What about if they throw flaming oil (a splash weapon)?

For some reason I get the impression they don't... of course, the torch may be different from the oil...

Thanks for your help!

Yes

I think yes, i don't know how much damage a trown stick does, but it'll do something like 1D3 bludgeonig damage. Since you throw a torch you do something like 1D3 bludg. + 1D3 fire Damage. You can add your str. to any trown weapon.

What about if they throw flaming oil (a splash weapon)?

Since flaming oil counts as grenade you dont do any damage other than fire damage and therefore you dont add your str bonus
